Chapter 2043 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (32)

Having obtained the thorny branch, Si Jin dismissed all the servants and waited outside for Shen Linyuan to return.

He took this to help Shen Linyuan resolve his inner conflict.

After all, since they share the surname Nangong, it would feel like there would be a slight rift if they didn't put on this show.

A relationship should be based on mutual trust.

Once this plane ends and the divine power is restored, he will go and whip the old emperor's corpse, but Shen Linyuan must be appeased now!

However, I'll only let him hit me once at most... No, not even once!

If he dares to touch this thing, he'll just pull it back.

Long, slender fingers lightly tapped the table, the rhythmic tapping sound reaching the ears, gradually becoming more rapid and tense as time passed.

Finally, with a creak, the door opened.

Shen Linyuan strode in, carrying chilled berries in his hand, but he was incredibly stingy.

During the day, I told him to eat two pills, and he actually gave me two, with a rather reasonable reminder: "It's not even the height of summer yet, don't eat something so cold at night, you..."

The words stopped abruptly. Shen Linyuan walked to the table, put down the small bowl, and casually picked up the thorny branch, weighing it in his hand a few times.

Then she turned around and smiled, "This thing is not bad, it will definitely hurt when you hit it, but... Your Majesty's hobby is really peculiar."

As if completely oblivious to the pervert, he slowly approached Si Jin, bent down and handed him the thorny branch, chuckling, "Here, use it. Go ahead."

Si Jin remained silent, but then heard him say, "What? Do you need me to take off some clothes to help you?"

"Let me think about it." Shen Linyuan stood calmly, pondered for a moment, and seemed to realize that he couldn't figure out Si Jin's thoughts, so he simply gave up and said indulgently, "You tell me."

The regent stood with his hands behind his back, his moon-white robes accentuating his imposing figure, yet he bent down, willingly becoming a subject at the emperor's feet: "What do you want me to do... to resolve this?"

"Or should we just tear it up?"

A string of nonsensical remarks suddenly left Si Jin at a loss for words.

The carefully crafted atmosphere of sadness vanished in an instant.

The young man sighed, raised his hand and handed over the paper from the Duke of Anguo, letting Shen Linyuan read it himself.

The room fell silent again, and the flickering candlelight elongated the man's shadow, obscuring most of his face.

It's blurry and indistinct.

After a long silence, long enough for Si Jin to feel a pang of guilt, Shen Linyuan finally spoke, asking, "So, you're here to apologize to me?"

“Yes.” Si Jin raised her head: “I didn’t know about these things before, but forty-six lives are not a trivial matter. I will overturn the case for the Shen family. If you feel wronged all these years, you can take revenge.”

"Alright," Shen Linyuan readily agreed, then turned and burned the paper over the candle flame, before discarding the thorny branch. He then bent down and began to undo his belt.

Unravel? Waist? Belt?

The somber atmosphere vanished with a snap.

For the first time, Si Jin felt that he didn't quite understand A Yuan's thought process, and he had a feeling that his little apprentice was out of control.

Normally, Xiao Ayuan would either hold him and cry or gently comfort him, but this guy is planning to...

Just then, he saw Shen Linyuan take another step closer to him and quickly tie his hands with his belt.

Then, he carried it with one hand and walked towards the hot spring.

Fortunately, there was a small hot spring pool inside the emperor's bedroom. Upon entering the room, Shen Linyuan kicked the door shut and threw Si Jin inside.

Caught off guard, the boy choked on two mouthfuls of water. He barely managed to surface before a sudden kiss sealed his lips.
